->''"She got stuck! Should've ducked! Worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a pole!"''
-->-- '''Courtney, Gwen, & Heather''', ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'', "Stuck to a Pole"

A character, usually (but not always) a kid, is dared to place his tongue on a flagpole (or other metal object) in sub-zero temperatures. The tongue becomes stuck to the flagpole and the characters must find the means to separate it.

[[DoNotTryThisAtHome Do not attempt this in real life]], as the saliva on your tongue ''will'' freeze on contact with a cold surface, and it's possible to lose your tongue to severe frostbite. If it happens, have a friend apply warm water or use a blow dryer to melt the ice. Don't try to tear it off, as you will lose a chunk of your skin.

* ''Film/AChristmasStory'', the TropeCodifier. Flick and Schwartz are debating on whether or not a tongue will get stuck to a frozen object.

They are then sent spitting blood, since two of the boys tear themselves off while being freed via a blowtorch and the third one gets a DopeSlap, biting down on his tongue, after being successfully rescued.

* One of the beliefs cited in ''Literature/TheAmericanCredo''--"That there was once a man who placed his tongue against the rails of the Monon railroad near Kokomo, Indiana, and, being unable to get loose, had his head cut off by a passenger train four hours later." (New #1130)
* One of the stories in ''The Book of Heroic Failures'' tells of a man who knelt down to breathe on the lock of his car door in an effort to defrost it and ending up spending a freezing night outside with his lips stuck to the car door.
* At the beginning of Creator/NealStephenson's ''Cobweb'' a guy tries to feel Desiree Dhont's bum, not realising that she has spent her whole life wrestling with her champion-grade brothers and is just as badass as they are. Before he knows what's happening, she slams his face into a freezing cold metal window frame and leaves him stuck to it.
* In ''[[Literature/LittleHouseOnThePrairie Farmer Boy]]'', Almanzo is egged on to lick a pump handle, but knows better than to rise to the bait.

* One Creator/PaulJennings story features a boy kissing an ice {{sculpture|s}} of a girl. The inevitable happens, inevitably, so he goes into a pool of water to melt it off.

His father makes fun of him for trying to kiss his reflection and cracks up over the fact that Byron's tongue ''didn't'' get stuck, meaning he didn't get [[ScrewYourself "too passionate with himself"]]. Kenny's mother is not amused, and--unable to use hot water to get him off--has to free Byron by ripping him off of the mirror. He keeps his lips, but is incredibly sore and has to cover them with Vaseline for a few days.

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]

* On ''Series/TheGoldbergs'', Adam dares Barry to stick his tongue in a pole. Barry gets even by pushing Adam's lips to the pole. And then they realize that no one knows where they are and they can't call for help.
* ''Series/TheHead'' (2020 miniseries). One character has to strip down to fit through an AirVentPassageway; the problem is it's an Antarctic research station in the middle of winter, so she's heard screaming in agony as her bare skin touches the freezing metal as she squeezes through the gap.
* ''Series/KenanAndKel'' get stuck in a restaurant's freezer and one of them gets his tongue stuck on a fish.
* ''Series/TheLastLeg'': In series 18, ep. 6, Josh--despite a warning from Adam--licks an ice sculpture of Mike the Cameraman (ItMakesSenseInContext, kind of) and gets his tongue stuck and has to be pulled free by Alex.
* Tested and confirmed on ''Series/MythBusters''. Evidently, enough people thought it to be a myth to justify it (possibly because the show was filmed in balmy California). This also showed how much damage it could cause. They stuck a pig's tongue to it, and when they pulled it off by force...
%%* Happens to one of the President's bodyguards (on a ski-lift) in an episode of ''Series/TheNanny''.
* In one episode of ''Series/{{QI}}'', Phill Jupitus learns that the coldest place in the known universe is a science lab in an American university, containing a metal bar which has been cooled to a fraction above 0 Kelvin. He wonders if any of the scientists have ever been tempted to lick it.

* Referenced in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. Turk is keeping his boxers in the freezer and JD's brother warns him to make sure he is completely dry "down there" before putting them on or he could end up with "a tongue on the flagpole situation".
* On ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'', London gets her tongue stuck a frozen smoothie that Zack had stuck on a popsicle stick.
* ''Series/TheTerror'': A rare non-comedic example. Due to the cold, the party are careful not to touch metal above deck with their bare flesh, otherwise they'll get stuck and lose several layers of skin trying to get free. [[spoiler: Crozier (who really should know better)]] at one point makes the mistake of bringing a telescope too close to his eye, ''and nearly rips his eyelid off.'' Another man tears off most of the skin on his palm while preparing a cannon [[spoiler: to fire at the Tuunbaq.]]
* In one ''Series/ThisHourHas22Minutes'' segment, an eco-terrorist who blew up a pipeline in British Columbia offers some advice to other terrorists. He insists the media was wrong about no one being hurt, since he licked the pipeline not knowing his tongue would get stuck. Things got progressively worse when the bear showed up.
* Jeremy Clarkson on ''Series/TopGear''. In a variant, it was a metal hex nut he was holding with his mouth -- but since he was standing on the polar ice north of Canada at the time, it had the same effect.
* Happens in one clip on ''Series/WorldsDumbest''. Chuck Nice even references ''Film/AChristmasStory''.

* On ''Radio/CabinPressure'', TheDitz flight attendant Arthur has trouble opening the plane's hold door with his gloves on when it's on the ground in St. Petersburg, so he takes them off.

The incident is a ChekhovsGag that gets them out of a pickle later in the episode.
* On ''Radio/APrairieHomeCompanion'' Garrison Keillor jokingly suggested that pump handles (and frozen objects in general) have the ability to hypnotize children to make them stick their tongues on them.
* Stuart [=McLean=] plays with this trope in one of his ''Radio/TheVinylCafe'' stories. A man gets stuck on the roof in the middle of winter. He contemplates peeing on the TV antenna, though knowledge of this trope prevents him from doing so.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Not performable, but mentioned during a conversation with Alistair in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Have you ever licked a lamppost in winter?"]] Becomes even more hillarious if you have a mod that allows the ''male'' Warden to romance Alistair. ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' adds the staff Lamppost in Winter, the description stating that it is painfully cold and licking it would be unwise.
* A level in the second ''VideoGame/DumbWaysToDie'' game asks you [[SchmuckBait not to lick a pole.]]

* In the ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' [[DownloadableContent DLC]], ''[[ChristmasEpisode How the Saints Saved Christmas]]'', [[ShoutOut in reference to]] the TropeCodifier, the Boss has to place their tongue on a pole in order to cause lightning to strike (just roll with it). Initially, this leads to an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of ButThouMust, as there are only two "Refuse" options at the beginning, but refusing enough times will [[PlayedStraight play the trope straight]] and solidify the Shout-Out as C.I.D triple dog-dares the Boss to do it, leading to two "Accept" options.
* The (very surreal) InteractiveFiction game ''VideoGame/SoFar'' ''dares you to lick a frozen pole.'' [[spoiler:It's a bad idea, because you will get stuck and eventually freeze.]] While your tongue is stuck, all descriptions come back muddled, as if the narrator ith thalking with ith thung thuck to a thlagthole.
* A LoadingScreen in ''VideoGame/{{SSX}} 3'' shows Viggo Rolig with his tongue stuck to the center pole of the ski lift gondola. In ''SSX Blur'', set a year later, DJ Atomika says, "Just got a postcard from Viggo - he's recovering nicely from that whole 'tongue on the flagpole incident'."
* In the Canada level of ''[[VideoGame/TonyHawksProSkater Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3]]'', there is an objective to help a guy called Chuck (specifically, "[[RhymesOnADime Get Chuck Unstuck]]") who has got his tongue stuck on a pole and is being taunted and having snowballs thrown at him by two bullies. This being a skateboarding game, what's the solution? Plow into him at full speed.
* The GMTK game jam game ''[[https://nathanpowlesslynes.itch.io/tongue-tied Tongue-Tied]]'' has this as a premise. The protagonist's tongue is stuck to a flagpole, acting as a tether, and must gather orbs that [[OverlyLongTongue make their tongue longer]] in order to find something to free themselves.
